note: the notation of Waterloo "running
with the Lady
of the Lake" refers to the Waterloo being
ordered to run "head-to-head" with the Lady of the
Lake, in a "fare-war," matching
fare
with fare ; cabin & steerage fares
from Quebec to
Montreal
greatly
reduced, with
steerage
fare dropping as low as sixpence (the regular steerage fare was ten shillings
which is 20 times greater than sixpence). The Lady of the Lake belonged
to a competitor, James Greenfield.
... During the navigation season,
steerage fares even dropped to two pence [tuppence] and were then all
over the place ; up to two shillings
and
sixpence
;
down to one shilling and three pence ; down to seven-half
pence [ -/-/7½ ] ; down to two pence ; up to seven-half
pence ; up to one shilling and three pence ; up to two shillings and
sixpence ; up to five shillings ; up to seven shillings and sixpence
